Chapter Eleven

Addison

“I love the menu changes.” I smile at Riley, then look back down at the beautiful menus she designed. “Seriously, these are gorgeous.”

“Mia came up with the content, I just designed them,” she replies and sips her coffee. We haven’t opened for lunch yet, so she and I are sitting at a table in the dining room, going over the menus and catching up. My waitstaff has arrived, and they’re bustling about, getting ready for us to open.

One of my full-time waitresses, Daisy, walks past us, pulling on the neckline of her blouse, and smiles. “Good morning.”

“Morning,” I reply.

“So, we haven’t talked in a while,” Riley says and settles back in her chair. “Tell me how you’re doing. How are you and Jake getting along?”

“I’m great,” I reply honestly.

“Even after your minor meltdown a few weeks ago?”

I roll my eyes. “It wasn’t a meltdown. God, you guys are dramatic. I just had a bad day.”

“And called in sick,” she reminds me. “You worried us.”

“No need to worry. I’m fine.”

“And Jake?”

I sip my latte and lick my lips. “I’m assuming he’s fine too.”

“Don’t be a pain in the ass,” Riley says with a sigh. “I don’t see you very often. I need to know these things.”

“We’re good,” I reply honestly and watch as Daisy pushes into the restroom. “That’s the third time she’s gone in the bathroom in the past hour.”

“I noticed,” Riley says with a nod. “Maybe she has a bladder infection.”

“Mm.”

“Jake. Don’t change the subject.”

“The past few weeks have been great. We spend more nights together than apart these days.” I wiggle my eyebrows at Riley, and then we both dissolve into a fit of giggles. Just then, Daisy walks back out of the restroom.

“So, he’s good in that department.”

“Oh, girl. Good doesn’t begin to cover it. The man should teach classes on the art of cunnilingus.”

“I hate you,” Riley says with a pout. “You get a rock star and he’s good at sex? No fair.”

“You’re not celibate,” I remind her.

“I’m not banging any rock stars either,” she says with a shake of the head. “But I’m happy for you. I can see that he makes you happy, and that’s all any of us want for you.”

“Plus, he’s not a mooch or an asshole,” I add.

“Right. Those things are important too.” We raise our cups in cheers and sip them just as Daisy walks past us toward the bathroom again.

“Something’s up there,” Riley murmurs.

“So, I’m not crazy.” I sigh and rub my forehead with my fingertips. “I’ll go check on her. She’s either got that bladder infection you mentioned or morning sickness.”

“Does she have a boyfriend?” Riley asks with surprise.

“I have no idea.” I shrug and stand. “These menus are perfect.”

“I’ll send them off to the printer, then.”

“Thanks, Ri.”

I march into the bathroom and come to an abrupt halt as I watch, unbelievably, Daisy snort something up her nose. I’m immediately transported back to my modeling days, walking into trailers and bathrooms, even backstage at runway events, watching
